Pinpoint Test
- CLEAR DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Using a scan tool, clear all DTCs .
- Using a scan tool, perform a HVAC module self-test.
Is DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 present?
- Yes: GO to 2 .
- No : The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a previous battery condition.
- RETRIEVE PCM DTCs
- Start the engine.
- Using a scan tool, perform PCM self-test.
Are any charging system DTCs present in the PCM?
- Yes: REFER to SYMPTOM CHART: CHARGING SYSTEM for diagnosis of the battery and charging system.
- No : GO to 3 .
- CHECK BATTERY CONDITION
- Ignition OFF.
- Carry out the Battery Condition Test. REFER to DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE A
: Battery Condition Test.
Does the battery pass the condition test?
- Yes: GO to 4 .
- No: INSTALL a new battery. REFER to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- CHECK THE CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGENOTE: Do not allow the engine RPM to exceed 2, 000 RPM while carrying out this step or the generator may self-excite, resulting in default charging system output voltage. If engine RPM has exceeded 2, 000 RPM, shut the vehicle off and restart the engine before carrying out this step.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the voltage of the battery:
- For DTC U3003:17, turn off all accessories and run the engine at 1, 500 RPM for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- For DTC U3003:16, turn on headlights and HVAC fan on high and run engine at 1, 500 RPM for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- Is the battery voltage between 13-15.2 volts?
- Yes:
For DTC U3003:16, GO to 5
.
For DTC U3003:17, GO to 7.
- No : REFER to SYMPTOM CHART: CHARGING SYSTEM to diagnose the charging system.
- Yes:
For DTC U3003:16, GO to 5
.
- CHECK THE HVAC MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure and record the voltage at the battery.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
HVAC Module Ground C228A Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 26 SBP46 (BN/RD) - Ground Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage?
- Yes: GO to 6 .
- No : REPAIR the circuit.
- CHECK THE HVAC MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE
- CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC MODULE OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all HVAC module connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) Module .
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
